South Africa aims to deepen intra-BRICS agricultural trade, as current exports to BRICS countries constitute less than 10% of its $413.7 billion global agricultural exports in 2024. Despite the BRICS group not being a formal trade bloc, high import tariffs and non-tariff barriers, such as phytosanitary restrictions, limit trade within the group. The BRICS countries import over $300 billion in agricultural products annually, with China and India as major markets for commodities like soybeans, beef, maize, and wine, many of which South Africa produces at scale.
Miljoene hektaar in Afrika bly onderbenut weens droogte en onbetroubare reënval, maar beleggings in besproeiing, meganisasie en verbeterde saadvariëteite bring nuwe lewe aan koringboerdery in streke soos Sudan, Ethiopië en Suidelike Afrika. Hierdie gebiede, voorheen ongeskik vir kommersiële koringverbouing, lewer nou oes danksy innovasies soos spilpunt-besproeiing en klimaatbestande koringvariëteite.Afrika voer tans meer as 50% van sy koringverbruik in, wat miljarde per jaar kos. Deur plaaslike produksie op te skaal, kan die kontinent afhanklikheid verminder, pryse stabiliseer en voedselsekerheid versterk. Dit vereis regeringsbeleid wat koringproduksie aanmoedig, navorsing vir klimaat-slim sade en beleggings in verwerking en waardekettings.
South Africa has reported two new outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 on poultry farms in North West and Mpumalanga provinces, adding strain to an already challenged poultry sector dealing with shortages from Daybreak Farms and delayed imports from Brazil. Astral Foods has launched a R35m vaccination campaign targeting the H5 strain, covering 200,000 broiler breeders (5% of its flock), but the vaccine does not protect against the H7 strain, which caused a devastating 2023 outbreak. A local H7 vaccine is still in registration
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Reserwebank het op 29 Mei 2025 die repo-rentekoers met 0,25 persentasiepunte tot 10,75% verlaag, wat die landbousektor sowat R550 miljoen aan rentebetalings bespaar teen ’n skuldlas van R222 miljard. Met inflasie op 2,8%, onder die 3-6%-teiken, is reële rentekoerse op ’n 20-jaar-hoë. Die Monetêre Beleidskomitee (MBK) verwag verdere rentekoersverlagings van 0,5 persentasiepunte in 2025, wat nog R1 miljard aan verligting kan bring vir boerderye se finansies en kontantvloei.

CRA MEDIA - Actions speak louder than words. So, focus on winning through your actions rather than trying to win an argument.You need to think long-term if you want to maintain power. Consider all the possible outcomes of your actions and plan accordingly. Don’t accept things that people give to you for free. People will think they have power over you if you do. You won’t be able to exert your authority as easily.

Summary of the Weeks Headline news- ( Our mediums is overloaded with Farming and Agriculture news and we have great interest from International medium.)
South Africa’s agricultural sector is showing promising signs despite ongoing challenges. While cattle farming and the poultry industry grapple with animal diseases, horticulture and field crop production are experiencing a robust 2024-25 season, driven by improved yields and favorable weather conditions.
Navorsing aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, onder leiding van prof. Phillip Strydom, bevestig dat Karoolam, geproduseer op die Sentraal-Karoo se natuurlike veld, beter geur, voedingswaarde en rak-stabiliteit het as lam uit voerkrale. Drie groepe lammers is bestudeer: dié wat op Karooveld gewei het, dié met graanaanvullings, en dié in voerkrale afgerond.
South Africa’s 2025 citrus season is set for a 3.6% export volume increase, targeting 171 million cartons, driven by oranges, grapefruit, and late mandarins like Nadorcott. Capespan, a key player with farms across regions like Limpopo and the Cape, benefits from a March–October harvest and offers a diverse portfolio including oranges (Navel, Valencia), easy-peelers (Clementine, Nadorcott), ,,,

Die Landbou-handelsforum het sy kommer uitgespreek oor die aankondiging van die Amerikaanse landboudepartement dat pluimvee-produkte na Namibië uitgevoer kan word. Die forum wil weet of enige rolspelers besprekings met die Amerikaners gehou het omdat die aankondiging as ‘n verrassing kom. Dit kan wees dat die VSA net goedkeuring daarvoor gegee het.
In the build-up to the Agriculture Budget Vote Debate this coming Tuesday, the Citrus Growers' Association of Southern Africa (CGA) has outlined key priorities that will help the citrus industry grow and export a total of 260 million 15kg cartons in 2032. These priorities are improved market access, ever-vigilant biosecurity and improved logistics.
’n Vierde entstof teen knopvelsiekte, Bovipox (Reg.no. G3861) van Design Biologix, is onlangs bekendgestel, wat verseker dat daar nooit weer ’n tekort aan entstowwe in Suid-Afrika sal wees nie, volgens dr. Danie Odendaal van die Veearts Netwerk.
South Africa’s red meat industry is facing severe operational and financial difficulties due to ongoing Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreaks, which have led to trade suspensions by key partners like Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, and China, affecting meat and animal product exports.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse landbousektor het in die eerste kwartaal van 2025 met 15,8% gegroei, die grootste bydraer tot BBP-groei, volgens Statistieke Suid-Afrika (SSA). Dit kontrasteer met vyf ander sektore (mynbou, vervaardiging, nutsdienste, konstruksie, persoonlike dienste) wat in resessie is.
Suez Canal activity experienced a less steep drop in traffic in the third quarter of fiscal 2024–25 than in last year's third quarter. According to a statement issued by Egypt's Ministry of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation, Suez Canal activity dropped by 23.1% year over year in the third quarter of the fiscal year, compared to a plunge of 51.6% in Q3 FY2023–24.
Volgens FF Plus-leier Corné Mulder het die Trump-administrasie geëis dat Amerikaanse entiteite (meer as 600 maatskappye in Suid-Afrika) vrygestel word van Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging (SEB)-vereistes as voorwaarde vir die normalisering van bilaterale betrekkinge. Ander voorwaardes sluit in die aanpak van plaanaanvalle, veroordeling van die "Skiet die Boer"-lied, en billike markvergoeding vir grondonteiening.
China is a significant market, accounting for roughly 11% of global agricultural imports, which totalled US$218 billion in 2023. However, accessing China is not as easy, despite the country’s optimistic statements about lowering import tariffs for goods from various African countries. Until there is clarity about this process and timelines, we continue to face higher tariffs in China and some phytosanitary barriers.
Daar is voldoende wetenskaplike bewyse dat die wisselvalligheid van die klimaat oor die afgelope twee dekades die produksie-omgewing en -basis van veeboerdery in Suider-Afrika dramaties verander het. Oor die lang termyn sal dit ’n potensieel ontwrigtende uitwerking op veeproduksie en voedselsekerheid hê.
A group of South African citrus growers have joined forces to boost demand for grapefruit in Europe, launching a collaborative marketing campaign under the new SummerStar Ruby Grapefruit brand.
